6 mos banded, cholesterol gone up...UGH!

I could not believe it when I got my cholesterol results yesterday. My cholesterol has gone from 180ish to 212 since being banded. My liver enzymes were high before so I had to go off of Lipitor. I think we were all kind of hoping that it would work itself out after being banded and losing weight. NOT! Good thing is, they didn't say anything about the enzymes so maybe they're down. I will get all of the results back soon, but this was just what they sent yesterday.

Right, (((((Michele))))), if you are dealing with a metabolic issue, caused by a wacky pit, then this is one of the very, very common symptoms.

I know this is hard, hon. I know it is. Research, research, research.

You have my number, call me any time you need to talk, just remember the time difference :notagree

You always know the right things to say!

I had no idea, or at least for a moment I had forgotten that it actually was a symptom.

I'm working on having some tests done, but some have been put off because of menstrual issues. I guess they want your hormones tested right in the middle of your cycle. I have another 2 weeks before I can do them.

Anyway, thanks again!
